Well said.

Atheists sometimes remind me of those who deny reality just because they haven’t experienced it. Much like a blind man who might insist that light doesn’t exist because he can’t see it.

[[Much like a blind man who might insist that light doesn’t exist because he can’t see it.]]

That’s a much better analogy than my ice one- that’s pretty much spot on, and describes htose hwo are on the outside, looking in and telling those on the inside that they aren’t really experiencing what we say we are, then tryign to convince eveyone else that God isn’t real- then patting us on the back and stating “I respect your choice to beleive in fantasy, IF that’s what makes you feel better about yourself”-

The silly hting is that they’d know instantly that what we are talkign about is infact very real IF they’d just take God at His word and ask for salvation- but refusing to do so, they think they are liberating htemselves by ‘freeing themselves from fantasy’ by refusing to Take God at His wor4d and finding out first hand God really is who He says He is- It’s just like hte blind man insisting light doesn’t exist, and hte fact is many who have their sight have i nfact experienced the reality of light first hand

let me just add- that IF the blind person were offered their sight back, but refused the operation becajuse of hte fear of hte pain of hte operation. They refuse the sight restoring operation, and STILL insist that light doesn’t exist, and STILL try to convince htose hwo have indeed seen hte light, that light could not exist, because hte blind person making the claim hasn’t persoanlly experienced the light fisrt hand.
